Take our 60-second eligibility quiz to find every settlement you qualify for — including this one.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You are a current or former member of Abbott Laboratories Employees Credit Union (ALEC)
- Your personal information was exposed or potentially exposed in the ALEC data breach
- You received a data breach notification letter from ALEC informing you of the incident
- You experienced out-of-pocket losses, fraudulent charges, or spent time dealing with issues related to the breach
How Much Can You Get?
Eligible claimants may receive up to $2,500 from this settlement, though the exact amount you receive will depend on the type and extent of harm you experienced. Compensation is typically broken into tiers — for example, reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses (like bank fees, credit monitoring costs, or fraudulent charges) may be covered at a higher rate than a flat payment for general inconvenience. Even if you didn't suffer a direct financial loss, you may still qualify for a smaller flat payment simply for having your data exposed. Because proof is required, the more documentation you have, the stronger your claim. Keep any breach notification letters, bank statements showing suspicious activity, or receipts for identity protection services you purchased.How to File Your Claim

Do I need documentation for the Abbott Laboratories Employees Credit Union Data Breach Settlement?
Yes — this settlement requires supporting documentation, and what counts is set out on the official claim form rather than being the same in every case: a consumer case may ask for receipts or order confirmations, while a financial or data-breach case usually turns on account records or the notice the administrator sent you. Note: some settlements still require a Claimant ID or PIN from a mailed notice; if this one does, it will be shown on the official claim form.

File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page.

Check whether the form asks for an ID or PIN from the notice you were sent before you start.
